Welding and Machining Parts (Wadkin Planer Guard) 

Lovely to see a part for a great old British planer being made. I was an apprentice church organ builder in London and we had an 15" or might have been 18" 15 HP Wadkin planer/ thicknesser that was a beast of a machine. We only had 30 mins for Lunch and if the planer was turned off at lunchtime, it was still revolving when lunch was over, the cutter block was so big and heavy and it was just one big flywheel !

Great work and a superb result, you should be proud of everything you do.

Fascinating to watch those machines work. Good job, brother.

Truly a work of art. More please.

Great project. Beautiful work.

Thanks for showing a real job, not that your renovation jobs aren’t interesting but I’m a mercenary at heart.😊 I’d love to see a picture of the part(s) installed on the machine they were built for. Thank you again.

Wow great work. Normally I can’t watch a video of 30 minutes long. But you made it interesting enough for me to watch the whole thing.

Hey man, your channel just popped up on my RU-vid and I’m really glad it did!! I really like the way you put your videos together, you got yourself another new subscriber and I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next, great channel, and great work!!!

Nice to see old British machines being kept alive the other side of the pond. Your Colchester is awesome and Wadkin made some of the finest woodworking machinery. Will last forever with a bit of TLC. I have just acquired a lovely old Jones and Shipman drill from the 1920s. I hope to do a video on it one day. Also just acquired a CVA toolroom lathe which is a British version the Monarch 10EE.

Yea, I liked the project. Found it interesting and liked your thought process in stepping through the build phases.

Very nice work ! Pretty cool parts. Thanks for sharing.

When the work is top notch, but the video is so relaxing you gotta fight to stay awake so you can see how everything comes out.

Excellent work! Great video, editing, quality.... looking forward to more !

Great project! When mounting the tube, machining a channel for the base to register into helps keep it in place for welding. Keep up the great content!

Excellent job.....top craftsmanship....

Really enjoyed that - super sturdy and worked out very well.

So nice and true skill I’m enjoying watching more

Fantastic build.

Great Build, love the reverse threading.

Considering what the end use is, you produced a work of art.👍👍👍

Awesome job!

Beautiful work

Great to see true craftsman working. You are truly an American Craftsman!

Amazing craftsmanship! So well done! Nice work! Love your videos!

Wow, awesome project and clever processes to make something unique. Thanks for the inspiration and build details. All of these videos of yours keep getting better and better. Hope you can continue to share with such high quality 👍👍😎👍👍

You are truly a master at a young age. Awesome. I'm a new sub.

Awesome video. Great videography and speaking. Your a pro. Thanks for sharing.

This is the first video of yours that I have watched. I’m very impressed with what I have seen. Your narration is clear and informative, the camera work is good, and the music is pleasant without being intrusive. It’s nice to watch someone work by hand and eye. No CNC or DRO. Your attention to detail is wonderful to see. I’m not sure what the customer asked for,but I’m sure you could have cobbled together something much less pretty that would have been just as functional. I’m looking forward to watching your other videos, I hope I’ll be as pleased with those as I am with this one. Let’s be careful out there.

Great Vid! Love the explanation! Subbed.

Looked good, hope it was pleasing to the customer. The only thing I've done differently when welding a cylinder to a flat bar edge, was to put a vee cut on the flat bar to locate the cylinder easier, but as I've said before there is a plethora of ways to get a job done right. I'm still enjoying your content 👍

Nice work 👍

..wow ! great job bro ! ......

Now that was a great video, guy. Thank’s a lot.

Very nicely done-just subbed✅👍

Nice job, thanks for posting.

Dude... Dope video. I like the machining walk through videos. I like how you cover all of the set ups, work holding, and tooling. It would be cool if you show the finished assy at the end of the video so we can see how it turned out better. I just subscribed, and I'm looking forward to more of these because Im just starting to get into machining. Thanks Bud.

Awesome build! I wish I could see it on the planer.

Здравствуйте. Первый раз на вашем канале. Вижу много интересной работы. Подписался. Удачи!

Hey man great work and nice shop!

Excelent work. Grat.

Excellent video. Quality work and well explained. New sub!

Perfect work 👌

2:00 This is very unique, I've not seen it done before. Franky I do not know if i would have thought of it myself! It seems very accurate! CNC engraving machines inscribe in this fashion, perhaps a inscribing tool meant for that would work too, and be less flexible ?

Great work, didn’t realise they sold British made woodworking machines in the states.

Excellent

Might be interesting for you to do a video on how you got into machining etc

Try parting of also in reverse and putting the tool upside down, works wonders for my little lathe, reduce chatter and if anything goes wrong, the tool does not get wadged in the work piece.

I'm a new subscriber, been watching you videos, very nice work! Makes me very relaxed. Just one thing: You gotta take better care of those hands. Gloves are a pain in the *ss, but even small scratches and cuts can let bacteria in. Be safe.

Perfect Job

First channel i found where the backround music doesn't bother me.

Cara , você é demais!

clever

Nice job! Where are you guys? You listed this as a planer guard…. It looks like a jointer guard. The English call jointers buzz planers or planers for shot.

well done video! thanks

I like this,👍👍👍

That was beautiful to watch. I wanna win the lottery and commission some work with you :)

Bit too much stickout on that handle towards the end, you even see it deflect when you face it! Use a live center, it will keep everything nicer and safer! Cool build, part looks great!

Good work - :) If I can give some advice from experience, then "Keep it stupid simple!", that is don't over-engineer your work-flow/stages, as sometimes as engineer's, we often focus too narrowly on each sub-assembly, rather than on the overall outcome ie. "....forest for the trees.". If the work is semi-precision then finished machining of each component and then fabricating is ok, but for best results(and less frustration from part HAZ distortion) it's better to rough machine and then fab, then finish. Nice workshop BTW :)

👍👍👍👍

Nice!

Very nice job. I think I'll avoid taking a 30 thou cut on my mini lathe though ;)

😁😁😁

Чувак привет!Спасибо за логотипV 🇷🇺

عالی بود ☼

Jewelry??

Hello brother... Can i work at your place ...? I'm from Indonesia

Can you make me a metal lathe? I'll melt and make all the aluminum, aluminum bronze and copper ingots you want. I ask cuz I don't have a pocket full of cash for a machine. I'll buy the parts of course.

Please no music!!!!! I only have two ears and one brain.... Your videos will only get better and your audience could only benefit from it 😂❤

That is using space shuttle technology to manufacture a simple planer guard what a waste of time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
